My problems with it are mostly from a vegan perspective. Humans have done far more harm to the planet than mosquitos have. Why are we justified in killing all of them but other animals aren’t justified in killing us?
If we are going to eliminate any animal, though, mosquitos should be it.
Capitalists are probably incapable of doing this without accidentally killing far more universally considered important animals. I’d trust socialist states to do this more.
Then why exterminate the Guinea Worm? Because they are a horrifically devastating parasite that has caused suffering, death, and pain due to its existence, and it’s elimination has increased the quality of life significantly across the world in habitats it once thrived.
I also don’t fault you, but a moral argument about the “rights of the mosquito”, feel like a slap in the face to the millions in the global south that suffer from the effects of mosquitos. We are more then justified in exterminating an insect for the betterment of humanity. I value human life more then something that is barely an animal and little more intelligent then a virus.
